Abstract
An exemplary self-adhered membrane installation device includes a frame, a handle extending from the frame, a carrier for a roll of self-adhered membrane, and a plurality of rollers for feeding the self-adhered membrane through the installation device so that the self-adhered membrane can be applied.
Claims28
A self-adhered membrane installation device comprising:
- a base frame;
- at least one handle extending from the base frame;
- a first frame extending from a first side of the base frame;
- a second frame extending from a second side of the base frame;
- a carrier for rotatably receiving a roll of self-adhered membrane and positioned so that the roll of self-adhered membrane does not contact a building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- a pressure roller rotatably attached to the first frame and positioned so that at least a portion of the pressure roller presses an adhesive membrane layer of the self-adhered membrane against the building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- a support roller rotatably attached to the second frame and positioned so that at least a portion of the pressure roller engages the building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- and
- a collecting roller rotatably attached to the second frame and positioned so that at least a portion of the collecting roller engages the support roller such that rotation of the support roller causes the collecting roller to rotate to collect a backing layer of the self-adhered membrane on a center portion of the collecting roller.

A self-adhered membrane installation device in combination with a roll of self-adhered membrane having an adhesive membrane layer and a backing layer, the device comprising:
- a base frame;
- at least one handle extending from the base frame;
- a first frame extending from a first side of the base frame;
- a second frame extending from a second side of the base frame;
- a carrier for rotatably receiving the roll of self-adhered membrane and positioned so that the roll of self-adhered membrane does not contact a building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- a pressure roller rotatably attached to the first frame and positioned so that at least a portion of the pressure roller presses the adhesive membrane layer of the self-adhered membrane against the building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- a support roller rotatably attached to the second frame and positioned so that at least a portion of the pressure roller engages the building surface when the installation device is applied to the building surface;
- and
- a collecting roller rotatably attached to at least one of the base frame, the first frame, and the second frame and configured to collect the backing layer of the self-adhered membrane;
- wherein the roll of self-adhered membrane is rotatably installed on the carrier;
- and
- wherein the self-adhered membrane is unrolled by the self-adhered membrane installation device.

A method of installing self-adhered membrane comprising:
- using an installation device comprising:
- a base frame;
- at least one handle extending from the base frame;
- a first frame extending from a first side of the base frame;
- a second frame extending from a second side of the base frame;
- a carrier rotatably attached to at least one of the base frame, the first frame, and the second frame;
- a pressure roller rotatably attached to the first frame;
- a support roller rotatably attached to the second frame;
- and
- a collecting roller rotatably attached to at least one of the base frame, the first frame, and the second frame;
- mounting a roll of self-adhered membrane to the carrier of the installation device, the self-adhered membrane having an adhesive membrane layer and a backing layer;
- feeding an unrolled portion of the self-adhered membrane through the installation device;
- separating at least a portion of the backing layer from the adhesive membrane layer;
- applying the adhesive membrane layer of the self-adhered membrane to a building surface;
- pressing the adhesive membrane layer against the building surface with the pressure roller;
- and
- collecting the backing layer on the collection roller of the installation device.
